Citizens & Consumers

We Need You!

Wherever you live, whatever industry you work in, we need your help. The Provenance Co. is only one small part of a global community, and the work of mitigating climate change and building a healthier world is work that belongs to all of us in all ways.

“Each of us must find our work and do it.

Militancy no longer means guns at high noon, if it ever did. It means actively working for change, sometimes in the absence of any surety that change is coming.
It means doing the unromantic and tedious work necessary to forge meaningful coalitions, and it means recognizing which coalitions are possible and which coalitions are not.

It means knowing that coalition, like unity, means the coming together of whole, self-actualized human beings, focused and believing, not fragmented automatons marching to a prescribed step.

It means fighting despair.”
— ― Audre Lorde, The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House

Support Financially:

  • The Provenance Co. is not a non-profit, so we cannot accept donations. However, we work closely with The Savory Institute, which can accept donations and supports a global network of Holistic Land Stewards.

    The National Young Farmers Coalition is also dedicated to supporting the next generation of land stewards, which we desperately need.

  • Continue to buy local, buy sustainable, buy regenerative. The Savory Institute has collected a catalog of regenerative brands to buy from, but the list goes on in your local community.

    Demonstrating the consumer's desire for a healthy, local economy helps all of us in the long-run.

  • Mutual Aid Networks support communities from the ground-up. Because they are localized, there are no comprehensive databases, but chances are you have a chapter in your city, or even neighborhood. Holistic Management is a framework of managing human needs and complexity, and it starts at home. Supporting your local mutual aid networks brings us all closer to a sustainable future.

Support Ecologically:

  • Learn about your bio-region and add native plants and biodiversity to your garden, backyard, or even a windowsill planter. Add educational materials for your neighbors to read, and volunteer to help them get started on their own native garden.

  • Community gardens are shared plots of land, usually but not always in an urban environment, where locals can purchase or volunteer for use of a personal plot. They are a way for neighbors to come together, learn from one another, and produce local, fresh food.

    Some cities have local composting programs. If yours doesn't, see if there are ways to start one, even if it begins with your kitchen bin.

  • Some cities have volunteering opportunities for city clean-ups, ecological restoration projects, and local farms. See what opportunities exist near you, or even start one!

Support Politically:

  • Do your candidates support ecological health? Green energy? Local farmers? Read up on who is running, both nationally and in your community, and understand how their legislative actions will impact sustainable and regenerative efforts.

  • Follow local political initiatives and changes. Are the water sources protected? Is there a new highway proposal that may endanger a bioregion? Stay up-to-date locally and participate in these critical decisions.

  • Does your district need someone new? Do you have ideas for how to support your community? Consider running for office! Organizations like Run for Something help new candidates organize and get on ballots.
